If you want to stream all of the movies in the “Alien” franchise, including the “Alien vs. Predator” spinoffs, head over to Hulu.
All eight films, released theatrically by 20th Century Fox (since renamed as 20th Century Studios) are currently on the Disney-owned streamer at the moment.
Ridley Scott’s 1979 original space thriller and James Cameron’s action-packed 1986 sequel and subsequent sequels are variously available on Fubu, FX Now and Max.
Here’s where to stream all the “Alien” movies right now ahead of the release of “Alien: Romulus,” the ninth film in the franchise that opens in theaters on Aug. 16.
Alien (1979)
In the first film, the crew of the Nostromo – Ripley, Dallas (Tom Skerritt), Ash (Ian Holm), Kane (John Hurt), Parker (Yaphet Kotto), Lambert (Veronica Cartwright) and Brett (Harry Dean Stanton) — answer a deep-space distress call that will prove fatal for most of them. Four decades latter, it’s still tense and eerie as hell.

Aliens (1986)
James Cameron takes the franchise ball and runs with it in this crowd-pleasing sequel, which sees Ripley reluctantly accompanying a team of marines (who include Michael Biehn, Bill Paxton and Jenettte Goldstein) charged with figuring out what happened at a now-abandoned colony. She fiercely protects young survivor Newt (Carrie Henn), giving us the epic, “Get away from her, you b—h!” showdown.

Alien 3 (1992)
David Fincher’s divisively bleak threequel finds Ripley crash-landing on a planet called Fiorina 161, where the only inhabitants are the former inmates of a maximum security prison. Charles Dance, Pete Postlethwaite, Brian Glover and Charles S. Dutton co-star in what is, arguably, the harshest environment of the whole franchise. It also features one of the greatest shots of the series: A drooling alien cornering a terrified, bald Ripley … and then deciding to leave her alone.
